Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

Bronies don't bother me whatsoever. When I think of bronies I automatically think of a new generation of powerpuff fanboys/girls which I find quite satisfying. Although it was suppose to appeal to a certain age group, I feel as if the show has some particular quality that makes it much more enjoyable for "more then just the average child" so with that addressed. MLP has always been something I can sit down with some popcorn and watch on hub.

Anime is a lot like sex. Done right it's a beautiful act of creation that brings a little more light into the world. If it's sick and wrong... it's even better.

Re: My Little Pony Friendship is Magic

Not to get confused with the MLP thread, I am looking at MLP:FiM "from an exploratory research perceptive to uncover the effects of MLP: FIM with anime fans" Deathblade/13.666's words, I couldn't of said it better myself, about how the show has sparked such inspiration in many people to create so many new pieces of work, and why MLP:FiM has had the success that it has over many other shows. How do people see the animation strictly from artwork perspective, how do people consider the music from the show either good or bad based on how the music was composed. I would like to converse about how artists view the show from an overall standpoint as well. This is an article I wrote and posted on my blog, I figured that there may be people here would like to talk about the production of the show from an artistic standpoint. Don't bother posting a pic of your pony if you do not want to, mainly for those who are following my blog.

Take a man from Indiana, his friend admitting he is a major brony. He is shown the first episode of the show, things nothing of it really. A few months pass and the mental toll of the show starts to call his name. He finally gives in.

A man once a hater is turned into a brony. My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a show aimed with the target audience of younger girls during childhood years, but has just a big a fanbase of adult males in their late teens to early twenties. The show follows six main characters, but first introducing Twilight Sparkle, a purple unicorn pony with the power to use magic. Each of the six main characters represent an "element of harmony" including loyalty, honesty, laughter, generosity, kindness, and the sixth being magic itself.

The show is guided to try to show different elements of forming long lasting friendships and bonds with others, but at the same time also seems to capture the eyes of artists. The Friendship is Magic arc is completely separate from the Hasbro My Little Pony which has been created in the 1980s and 1990s. The arc's creator is Lauren Faust who has also worked on other shows such as The Powerpuff Girls and Fosters Home for Imaginary Friends. Faust has not just help create a show, but she has helped bring together people from all over the world.
MLP:FiM for short, even has helped create some various rules of the internet (Will discuss these at a later time) Rule #34.2 "There are ponies of it, no exceptions." and also Rule 35.2 "If no pony is found of it, it will be made.", among a few others. These rules are very true as people have even created a new genre of music from the show, called Ponystep. Ponystep is a genre of music that is a combination of dubstep music and music (or even a single word) from the show. To give an idea of just how much ponystep is out there, I know that Selena Gomez, a celeb with about 30 million fans, has 3 albums of music, and a discography of about 40ish official songs she produces the vocals for solely. Remixes that I have found are at 176, I check every few days. Let's compare that to the thousand plus songs I have come across on the internet of Ponystep and ponyifed music. Much much much power of inspiration has been given off from the show. Such crossovers like My Little Portal, a combination of the show and Portal which is a puzzle game first released on the Orange Box for the Xbox gaming system, have been created. Many online 3-D games, including some MMORPGs have been created, and games such as Legends of Equestria or fanfics like Rainbow Factory have gathered lots of interest.

New York City is home to a lot of things, include the once world renown Pokemon Center. It is now home to BronyCon, a convention held every few months with an exponentially growing attendance and has created the multi hundred thousand dollar documentary film that focuses on fans of the show and the convention itself. This is a film that is right now planning to be released in the year 2013 to the public theaters across the United States.

The staff has created not only a great show, but have taken Ponies and created a realistic society that they can live and thrive in. The staff has to think of how humans do each of the millions of simple little tasks we do each day, and then figure out how a Pony would do that very same action. The camera angles shown are simple but they do a great job of letting the viewers see just how a Pony does some of those simple tasks. The colors are very bright and help set the overall vibe of the show. The music in the show is very well made, and the voice actors are not usually the ones to do the singing in an episode that contains a song. Not every episode has a song but there are episodes that contain a few short little jingles or a full length song. For the most part the songs are two to three minutes, but on rare occasion a song excess of four minutes is injected into the show. The songs also are worked into the storyline very well and it is hard to predict when the next song or jingle may be heard by a pony. A big thing is the Characterization and progress of development of each individual character background or not. Even the background characters make cameo appearances in each episode and many fans of the show enjoy watching and pointing out each appearance in each episode. There has been a pony, given the name Derpy by fans of the show that had been given lines in the show, and when voice acted did not go over well with parents of children of the show. The character's voice was then redone in the show and even though this may have been a setback for many others cartoons, this show has suffered almost no negativity from the incident, mainly to how the staff went about the issue and resolving it properly.

The most important thing is the keep and open mind. To watch the show, the first two seasons which are completed, awaiting the third season while in production, it does much more than let you say, "Oh, yeah I've seen the show". After watching My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic there are fistfuls of neat, exhilarating fanfics, drawings, crossovers, music, and videos including Ponies the Anthology I and II, which are shorts from various music video and very short clips of audio set to clips of the show.

More than show, it is a piece of art that continues to gain many new fans each day, and more and more crossovers, songs, fanfics, games, and videos are created from the show all the time. Also feel free to post your favorite picture or pony meme from the show/created from the show.

I liked the president's speech. Can you imagine the time and effort that went into that whole thing? Especially yelling at that crying little girl....
